My (30f) mom (63f) broke up with her boyfriend of a year a little over 8 weeks ago. I am currently living with her while I go back to school. For about 6 months leading to the breakup she constantly asked for my opinion on all of the red flags and off putting things going on in her relationship. She finally broke up with him because he “wasn’t bringing anything to the table” which was just a broader way of explaining why it wasn’t working. I’ll give some examples. Said he wanted to “take care of her” until he found out how much money she made and then she was constantly running things. He still lives with his mom, he’s 56. He pays no bills and doesn’t even help his mother with groceries while he has a well paying job. He never asks my mother any in depth questions, everything is surface level, doesn’t seem to care. Is passive aggressive when it comes to my mom having a drink (in her own house) by pretending to be interested in what it tastes like but is just checking alch. content. Their relationship consisted of him coming over around 8pm, eating dinner that my mom cooked and then sitting on the couch while he fell asleep until he had to be home(around 10/11). There are so many other weird things about him and her friends have even told her he’s weird. Well now he got her to hang out last weekend with the excuse of exchanging gifts that he never got to give her for her birthday. I walked her through the whole breakup and now she’s trying to slowly let him creep back in just because she’s bored. How do I tell her that I feel upset that I walked her through this whole breakup and was proud that she realized she had higher standards, just to be disappointed that she’s stooping back down to that level. My dad passed almost 4 years ago and was amazing but this dude isn’t even attempting to put in effort. He makes the whole house feel so awkward and it’s really making me angry. I don’t want to be an asshole about it but I feel I’m justified in sharing my feelings?
